You can put it as a front application and wait (if corporate hasn’t forced a screen turning off timeout)
Not affiliated with the product.
That took some time for the dev to create and would take me at least an hour of my time to reproduce, for which im happy to exchange $5.
I could probably set up an ST instance inside iSH but it won’t work as smoothly, or create a native port myself, but I would rather not and feel thus is a fair exchange.
Of course, I would welcome and am waiting for the release of your alternative free version. Until this time I’ll take your comment as yet another “i hate apple” post.
Judging by your comment I suppose you don’t use generic drugs or any products based on expired patents not by the original patent inventor.
Sadly Apple requires doxxing yourself to publish apps, which IMO is a human rights violation. You also need to provide a working phone number to be able to install even free apps on a phone or tablet you have already purchased. These policies stand directly in opposition to their stated value that “privacy is a human right”.
The time of forced side loading support cannot come soon enough.

In my home a few minutes ago I just re-hung a framed, signed, and numbered print of some of Susan Kare’s pixel art for the original Macintosh System 1.0. It’s a common misconception that I hate Apple, but nothing could be further from the truth. Of course, you are free to continue believing incorrect things. :)
FWIW, I paid the $5 and have Möbius Sync Pro installed on my phone. But, as a Syncthing contributor, fuck them.
(Separately, it doesn’t even work right, whilst iCloud does, because of Apple’s anticompetitive bias against third party apps replicating OS functionality.)

I don’t believe in the concept of intellectual property. You misunderstand where I’m coming from. It’s a dick move to profit directly off the misfortune or hard work of others, which is precisely what the Möbius Sync authors are doing. It has nothing to do with patents or copyrights or what is or is not legally permitted to be done with the code.
You will note that I release all of my own software into the public domain, not under copyleft licenses. People should be free to be a dick, just as I’m free to point it out.
It's not because of the forced doxxing, syncthing has a foundation with a legal address and real people, using that info on the app store is a non-issue. It's not because of the $99 fee, syncthing has some cash flow.
It's been 10 years already, so why?
It is trivial to remove the feature gating and republish. Yet no one has. Would Apple deny it as being too similar to an existing app? Who knows?
I can’t test any of these theories as I am not in the ADP. I even tried applying one time like a dozen years ago and was denied because I didn’t have a DUNS number.
Ill be waiting for your public domain repo with ios syncthing build instructions - no need to doxx yourself. ill happily build it for myself - i don’t have a dev account either.
FWIW that app works much better than icloud has ever worked for me. eg with icloud you never know when the device decides to remove a file from local cache until youre offline and need to use it.
Gravity existed long before humans, and will exist after them.
Give the EU some time, I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit about iOS doing this stuff some day.
App Developers usually don't give a flying cluck about anything other than their apps. Battery, CPU, mobile data? Zero consideration.
But then of course the fault lies on Apple (and MS - it's the same thing in Windows - see the CrowdStrike fiasco)
But nobody wants to sysadmin their phone with rare exceptions
